Club
The guests' lounge: mosaic columns, library shelving in bronze, gilded armchairs and a rug drawn in the atelier.
Galleria 1899
Hotels, villas and every object inside them.
The design atelier of Andrea Maggi, between Carrara and Madrid. We design five-star hospitality and private residences, and the furniture, wallpapers, carpets and marble that fill them.

What we designed
The whole hotel, space by space: the lobby, the club, the spa and its snow cabin, the treatment and massage cabins, the gym, the cinema, the restaurant, the gardens and pools, and every suite. With the furniture, the marble, the bronze, and the artwork of every wallpaper and rug.
Water, heat and ice
A bonsai garden under a round skylight, a water wall between book-matched marble slabs, and a circuit of heat, salt and ice.
Snow cabin and showers
The cold side of the circuit, lined in glass mosaic and framed in bronze.
Treatment and massage cabins
Each cabin has its own wallpaper, drawn for ZEM: palms, branches, blossom, a pine on the mountain.
Gym
A marble mosaic panel set into the gym wall, cut in the workshop and fitted on site by our own team.
Restaurant
Mirrored ceilings, chandeliers and a patterned marble floor inside; outside, a terrace facing the mountains.
Suites
Eight room types, from the 46 m² Deluxe Premium to the 200 m² Altea Suite.
Made for ZEM
Wallpapers, rugs, marble and bronze designed in Carrara for these rooms.

Objects and surfaces
Every project carries pieces that exist nowhere else. We draw them in Carrara and have them made by workshops we have known for years: weavers, marble cutters, foundries, cabinet makers and printers.
Drawn to the millimetre
Before anything is built, everything is drawn. For one private residence in Madrid the atelier produced 117 construction sheets: plans, elevations, joinery and metal details, each one checked on site with the builders.
A tile factory, built in 1899
The atelier takes its name from its home: an old tile factory built in 1899 in the historic centre of Carrara, a few steps from the marble quarries of the Apuan Alps.
After more than twenty years designing in Spain, Andrea Maggi brought the studio back to Tuscany and kept a team in Madrid. Projects run from both, across Spain, Greece, Morocco and the Mediterranean, for hotel groups, developers and private families.
Most sketches start somewhere quieter: an office in a farmhouse in the middle of the Lunigiana forest.
